knitting the leg warmers for an elderly person and she would like me to leaves "loops" in the upper cuff so that a ribbon may be passed through to make sure the stocking stays up. How do i make "loops" when i get to the cuff?

Girls don't wear them for ballet anymore, these would be cuter with boots. Also real dancers have runs in their tights and dirty shoes from the floor. I would love to see more real pictures instead of staged.

I am trying to get started on these leg warmers, but I am having trouble. I am using 16 in circular needles, trying to work in the round. My daughters are 5 & 3, so I am only casting on 60 stitches to make them a bit smaller. Unfortunately, I think the 16 in are too long because I'm stretching the stitches in order to knit. Do they make circular needles with smaller cables? Should I just use doubles pointed needles? I also tried the magic loop method but wasn't comfortable with it. Any help would be appreciated.

I always use needles that are a little longer and use a modified Magic Loop; I pull a loop of cable through about a couple of inches from then end of the left needle. I work to the loop, then pull a new one through. I hope this helps a little :)
